Then last year I thought what can I use these for, or should I say how can I disguise them so my family will eat them. Below is a few recipes I have made using Panettone.

If you have any other recipes using Panettone please add to this post

Panettone French Toast

INGREDIENTS​

  • 200g fresh ricotta
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 8 slices panettone
  • 1/3 cup (110g) jam
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) thickened cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons icing sugar

  • 3.
    Heat half the butter in a non-stick frypan over medium heat. Drain excess egg mixture from half the panettone slices and cook for 1-2 minutes each side until golden. Keep warm while you repeat with remaining butter and panettone.

  • 4.
    To serve, place two slices on each plate, dust with icing sugar, and top with berry compote and a dollop of cream.

Anyone make the Greek or Turkish or wherever .... the shortbread biscuits, usually in crescent moon shape, with crushed nuts and dusted in icing sugar?

I thought it was Greek. My hairdresser (Stelios Papas) of years ago always provided them with coffee. They were def homemade and I just loved them. I searched for recipes and tried to make years ago but I didn't get it quite right. The recipe I tried had Rose Water I think. Have bought from shop before but again, not the same. I would absolutely love your recipe! I would like to make for Christmas or anytime really.

Some Greeks use rosewater but I really don't like rose water. I just posted the recipe which I've made hundreds of times.

I sometimes leave out the almonds but really delicious with them in it.

If you want any other greek recipes let me know. I cook alot of Greek food with hubby being Greek
